Three essentials to keep everything trim and tight.

– drum tensioner – up for bright, down for funky sound.
– neck tightener – make an occasional test to see that it hasn’t loosened with playing.

Product Specifications for the SideKick Banjo Ukulele

The SideKick banjo ukulele is a four string instrument. The 8″ (20cm) round banjo drum creates a bright and tuneful sound.

Like a standard ukulele it uses ukulele tuning and ukulele chords so you can play ukulele songs and banjo tunes straight away without ever being a banjo beginner. So you won’t have to learn any new banjo chords … making the Banjo Uke perfect for both budding or experienced musician.

The longer, tenor fretboard makes playing ukulele chords easy, as chord finger placement is as spacious as on a guitar. Many choose to use a Banjo Uke to compliment a guitar group playing guitar chords – the result is full and melodious! With guitar center, surrounded by Banjo Ukes, you will hear the Old Time tunes the way their composers originally intended, while enjoying the easy fingering of the tenor fretboard.

Although many believe the ultimate guitar /banjolele /ukulele sound combo to be found in the tunes of the 1920’s, we encourage you to blend these instrument combinations in modern songs.
